Measurement Computing Protective Ears - Manual

Installing and Operating Protective Ears
Unit-to-Unit Attachment
For applications that are generally undisturbed, simply stacking the
product enclosures causes a modest engagement where the
bottom rubber feet of the top unit fit into the recesses of the lower
unit. No additional assembly is required.

Temporarily stack the
units to develop a
configuration that best
suits your application.
For all but the top-most
unit, deploy the 4 Splice
Tabs on each ear,
following steps 1-4, in
sequence, as shown in
Figure 1.
Restack the units
as shown in
Figure 2.
For each ear: remove the spare
#8-32 x 5/16 “screw from its
screw-hold and relocate it as
shown in Figure 3. Tighten the
screw snug.
Attaching a Handle
One or more handles can be applied to a single unit or to a stack of
units. The handle is affixed with two # ¼-20 x 7/8” screws (included
with the handle). For stacked systems, the handle should be
attached near the center of the stack to achieve reasonable
balance.
Attaching Ears to an Enclosure
Should you need to add or replace a protective ear, use the chart
on page 2 to identify the kit associated with your device; then follow
the steps for type “A” or type “B” as applicable. Note that all newer
data acquisition devices are shipped with protective ears already
attached.
Attaching Protective Ears
Type A Ears (see chart on back)
Figure 1
Figure 5
Type B Ears (see chart on back)
Since Type B ears have no hook to grasp the front and back
panel edge, simply place each ear on the side panel, line up
the screw holes and apply two #8-32 x 3/8” machine screws.
For each of the 4 ears follow steps 1-4 in Figure 6.

* Pivot the tab upright if you will be attaching a unit, otherwise you
can pivot the tab to be flush with the protective ear.
Turn the unit upside down. For each ear, apply a rubber foot
(included) into the recess, as shown in Figure 7.
